Cancer on the move!!

Hello,

My husband was diagnosed in 2020 with Advanced prostate cancer, with mets in lymph nodes, pelvis and 2 ribs. He has done really well with his oral chemo/hormone treatment until shock last night.

He had checkup scans in January this year and even though his PSA was rising all looked good and we were told not to worry about it.

Last night he was admitted to hospital with what we thought was a bad uti infection and on new scans it showed the cancer has spread to liver and lower lung nodes since January!

I always understood this was a slow growing cancer and we cannot get our heads around this complete bolt out of the blue, it feels as bad as when he was first diagnosed.

My daughter and I are so scared, does this mean there is nothing else they can do? we have to wait for oncology and probably more scans in case it's anywhere else, but the terror is choking us.

Has anyone else had it spread so quickly before and if so what have they said can be done?

Sorry, to go on but just trying to sort my head out about this shock.

thank you much.

  • Stay calm for more information and data that can help you interpret what’s new. Thinking of you both and the OH. Fingers crossed you get some good news.

  • Thankyou, we are trying to be calm, but he's just been diagnosed with Sepsis as well so a lot to take on in 24hrs. Hopefully they are able to offer some type of treatment to slow things down. Thankyou for your thoughtful words.
